I live in Miami, certainly a big enough city to have a good 3g signal. But in and around my home I go from 3g to 1x and back. However, I went to Disney World last week in Orlando and I had a solid 4 bars of 3g continually. Therfore,I believe this is more of a Verizon problem than a Motorola problem. I think maybe we believe too much in the Verizon marketing machine about how good their 3g coverage is. I have complained to Verizon. They tell me that they will check into it and get back to me, but they never do.
